Children's Services Section

The Children’s Services Section has evolved over the years; however, the committee continues to support the NJ professional youth services librarians. Members from this section are frequently asked to present programs at various statewide conferences such as NJLA, NJASL and NJEA as well as participate in many local and regional workshops. As NJ Librarians, we have learned how to adapt to the difficult and sometime challenging cultural, economic, and environmental changes happening around us. We value being a community that supports each other, and we understand the importance of being pro-active and present in our communities. If you wish to be part of this section, then join us for the monthly scheduled meetings or consider being part of the board.  Either way, we would like to hear from you!
